  • Wargaming Week 25/09/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 18th through to the 24th. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was looking at how my demo board is going! The last time I posted about it was back in May where the boards were still mostly wood and the plane was in the box. Now the boards have been played on, the…

  • Operation Dragon’s Hoard: Part 4 – Final Approach

    So there has been quite a gap since my last update (back in May) and since then a lot has changed. The game went from pie in the sky idea to actual game that is about to run in the next few days. I am both excited and terrified. THE PLAN So in the last…

  • Wargaming Week 18/09/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 11th through to the 17th. BLOG STUFF My post on REDvector’s buildings went up! I was a little ashamed of how long it took me to review these buildings seeing as I liked them a lot but it was just finding the time to write the post up. This week’s post will…

  • Impressions: REDvectors’s MDF Buildings

    You may have noticed some MDF buildings lurking in the background of many of my impressions pieces. I’ve had some comments on them and so this reminded me I really should get my impressions up before they get ruined by my slap-dash painting style. I picked up these buildings after bouncing a long chain of…

  • Wargaming Week 11/09/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 3rd through to the 11th of September BLOG STUFF Last weeks post was covering the completed SF Technicals. As I said in the post, this was really a nice self-contained project. Just a chance to focus on building some cool vehicles and a selection of gear, made easier via Spectre’s great range…

  • Non-Standard Tactical Vehicles – Building the SF Technicals

    When the full details for the SF upgrades to the technicals were announced, I could see that assembling these vehicles ready to support my operators on the field was going to be a fun project. Thanks to sheer variety of stowage and other bits to upgrade them with, building my Non-Standard Tactical Vehicles needed some…

  • Wargaming Week 04/09/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 28th of August through to the 3rd of September. BLOG STUFF Two actual posts this week – a look at Empress’s releases and a battle report from Thursday’s game. Both posts were great fun to work on – the rush to speed paint figures in time for a deadline and then the…

  • Battle Report: “The Welcome Party” – Spectre Operations

    Having been asked last week to plan a game, I sat back and had a careful think about what might be an exciting scenario to get my opponent’s figures on the table. Some sort of escort mission maybe but what to protect? As my eyes wandered across the various modern wargaming Facebook groups I settled…

  • Impressions: Empress August Releases

    Empress did a rather cool thing back in July and put out a list of things they planned to release. When I first saw it, I assumed we would see them dribbled out over a period of months. Empress instead dropped them all at once, leading to a rather exciting day watching the Empress Facebook…

  • Skirmish Sangin – Plausible Deniability

    Emergency post! You’re getting a post tomorrow but just been given the go ahead to talk about something cool. Radio Dishdash has just announced the next Skirmish Sangin book entitled Plausible Deniability. Focusing on Special Operations, this book will have all sorts of stuff in it to expand Skirmish Sangin. In addition some preview images…

  • Wargaming Week 28/08/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 21st of August through to the 27th of August. BLOG STUFF Battle report week! It wasn’t quite the game I was planning when I wrote out the scenario but it still ended up being great fun. It was also an exercise in speed writing as I managed to have the report…

  • Battle Report: “Big Dave Must Die!” – Spectre Operations

    Sometimes, pre-planning games don’t always go according to plan. On Monday, the game was a 7 person multiplayer game on a massive 6×8 table where every side had designs on Big Dave (mostly killing him). On Wednesday I had changed the sides. On Thursday morning, it was now going to be a much smaller game.…

    Let’s start, covering the 14th of August through to the 20th of August. BLOG STUFF Last week was the first of the two post weeks! It ended up working quite well, with Wednesday’s post covered the MENA releases and Friday’s post covered the new SF Technicals. I was wanting to paint the vehicles up but…

  • Impressions: Spectre SF Technicals – Initial Thoughts

    Earlier this year, I wrote a load of stuff covering Spectre’s first vehicle release for the technical. In it, I commented about miniguns which was a stretch goal from the Kickstarter that was sadly missed, as well as the illusive “Tactical Technical”. Well, it looks like it was merely being sneaky and it is now…

  • Impressions: Spectre July 2017 Release

    The end of July saw a new release to expand Spectre’s MENA Militia range. These new figures are designed to give your militia a bit of an edge, either by adding some tougher guys or bringing some new gear to the party. If you’re building a militia force, these fighters are a must buy. Militia…
